KVM: PPC: Merge powerpc's debugfs entry content into generic entry

At the moment KVM on PPC creates 4 types of entries under the kvm debugfs:
1) "%pid-%fd" per a KVM instance (for all platforms);
2) "vm%pid" (for PPC Book3s HV KVM);
3) "vm%u_vcpu%u_timing" (for PPC Book3e KVM);
4) "kvm-xive-%p" (for XIVE PPC Book3s KVM, the same for XICS);

The problem with this is that multiple VMs per process is not allowed for
2) and 3) which makes it possible for userspace to trigger errors when
creating duplicated debugfs entries.

This merges all these into 1).

This defines kvm_arch_create_kvm_debugfs() similar to
kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs().

This defines 2 hooks in kvmppc_ops that allow specific KVM implementations
add necessary entries, this adds the _e500 suffix to
kvmppc_create_vcpu_debugfs_e500() to make it clear what platform it is for.

This makes use of already existing kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs() on PPC.

This removes no more used debugfs_dir pointers from PPC kvm_arch structs.

This stops removing vcpu entries as once created vcpus stay around
for the entire life of a VM and removed when the KVM instance is closed,
see commit d56f5136b010 ("KVM: let kvm_destroy_vm_debugfs clean up vCPU
debugfs directories").

KVM: Remove unnecessary asm/kvm_host.h includes

Remove includes of asm/kvm_host.h from files that already include
linux/kvm_host.h to make it more obvious that there is no ordering issue
between the two headers. linux/kvm_host.h includes asm/kvm_host.h to
pick up architecture specific settings, and this will never change, i.e.
including asm/kvm_host.h after linux/kvm_host.h may seem problematic,
but in practice is simply redundant.

KVM: PPC: Remove DCR handling

DCR handling was only needed for 440 KVM. Since we removed it, we can also
remove handling of DCR accesses.

KVM: PPC: booke: category E.HV (GS-mode) support

Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for
guest state. The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping
into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace.

Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
to book3s.

Current issues include:
- Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
- The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
in a page that lacks read permission. Existing e500/4xx support has
the same problem.

KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics

Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.

Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.

Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).
